A quarterback change in Ann Arbor no longer sounds far-fetched, and the head coach opened that door. Kyle Whittingham said nothing is off limits for the Michigan Wolverines after a 20-14 road loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Oct. 3. Starting quarterback Bryce Underwood was intercepted twice and managed only 101 passing yards.
His view of the offense left little room for interpretation. "We may have to make some tough decisions. The results are unacceptable right now," Whittingham said.
Asked what those decisions might involve, he pointed to personnel and his own staff. "Who the guys are that give us the best chance to win," Whittingham said. "Coaches are always being evaluated.
What you don't want to do is panic. There are a few positive things. But we've got seven games left and we've got this opportunity to right the ship.
As much as we can." Against Minnesota, Underwood finished 10-of-21 without a touchdown. His 47.6% completion percentage, 101 yards, and 4.8 yards per attempt were all season lows. The first pick came with Andrew Marsh running free downfield.
Underwood had already locked in on JJ Buchanan. In Week 4 versus Iowa, the second-year passer threw for 276 yards, four yards shy of his personal best. Underwood arrived as the No. 1 overall prospect of the 2025 class.
